I think ebooks will revolutionize education but not the Kindle itself as it stands today. Eventually the hardware will catch up in functionality to truly make studying easier. It's not there yet. Ebooks will make it easier to navigate books, search on related topics, and recombine the information. Eventually, you will be able to integrate lesson plan data with the book. However, I think the biggest change will be simply in the access to information. As hardware costs go down, it will be far easier to bring an internet connection and computers to a small village in Africa than it will be to bring a library.
